Easy, fast, reliable coverage

The Nationwide pet insurance program has definitely exceeded my expectations in the first year we have had a policy. I use the VitusVet app for my iPhone to file all of our claims and I don't think it could be any easier. The only suggestion I have is to have an option to get rid of the confirmation step that is required once the claim has been processed and the funds are ready to be disbursed. This doesn't seem necessary after the first successful deposit verifies the account.

Awesome!

I love you guys! My dog has epilepsy so having you as my insurance really helps with the cost for my dog! Always so nice on the phone and I love getting the cute little emails from Nationwide too! I'm glad I made the decision to go with Natiowide!

claims are taking so much longer to pay

I would rate more paws because I am happy with the coverage, however the last couple claims (simple claims, for vaccinations etc) are taking way longer to approve and get notice of payment to be made.
